Twitter hands Outsports their arse on women's sports

Puuuuuuullll:

The single supporter on what is a particularly good ratio even by recent standards (who I think might even be the editor) had no axe to grind, oh nooooo...

It was awesome
Used to be all you got was transphobic but now people ar3 being outraged by this

Jesus between this and that labour thread earlier.is something happening, are the general public on board? I can't imagine or remember twitter a thread like this a year ago.

And the answer in the replies from a transwoman...

Biology does indeed matter. Did you know that everyone has biology? I'm transgender, and I am a biological women, because, biology.

F f s

Except they didn't like how it was going so they have posted it again but changed the wording a little:

Yet here we are in 2019 with a growing trans population who increasingly want to use sports to affirm who they are as people

Translation: Autogynaephiles depend on other people affirming that they are women. Women's sport is one way they can achieve this.

Outcome, on early indications, will not change...

As ever, I do wonder if the blue haired types have blocked everyone so just aren't seeing it, what do you think?

I wish mediocre males would just stop trying to prove themselves.

Their managing editor is a TW.

Wow, Dawn Ennis is pretty grumpy on that thread about all the people engaging with Outsports' 'let's have a conversation' post who are saying 'no' to the post's proposition that it’s finally time to include trans women in the growth and prosperity of women’s sports Reporting, blocking and spouting bigot at all and everyone.

As in Dawn Ennis, the managing editor of Outsports.

This Dawn Ennis:

Seems a conversation is only possible if it goes one way!

Dawn Ennis is the Managing Editor is trans.

Cross post NotTerf sorry

Indeed. Dawn Ennis' reply to this tweet may be the most pathetic thing I've seen on twitter.

Dawn is blocking and reporting (and announcing it) many of the replies to the article. This person runs a not-tiny, professional news website- it's bizarre.

To me he is dressing and trying to look like his wife :(
Have to hand it to the mail though,doing a good job of staying within the boundaries and also peaking people as the go.

I don't think Dawn's doing OK right now. From Dawn's history in other links, I am a little concerned for them.

It must be hard to witness as your castle built on sand starts to crumble under the waters of people starting to realise they can tell the truth.

Oh, Claire, typing it in all caps doesn't make it true! Biology does indeed matter. Did you know that everyone has biology? I'm transgender, and I am a biological women, because, biology. How can it be cheating if the rules say trans women can compete as women?

Gif of 'cis tears'.

Ennis genuinely believes they are biologically female 🤦‍♀️ The narcissism is raging in that one.

The piece the original tweet links to quotes the Olympic Charter
'Every individual must have the possibility of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair playy*.'

Yes, fair play, which is why we have men's and women's categories. And note that 'no discrimination of any kind' - allowing people with a physical advantage is discrimination against women.

The one thing worse than discrimination against a minority is discriminating against a majority.

Ennis is just making himself look insane by arguing about their female biology .

Seeing those responses gave me life! So great to see the public waking up. Someone wrote this and now I'm in love:

"It's a pretty short conversation. Biological men can compete against other biological men. Women can compete against other women."

Well that went well, didn't it?

Sorry, Dawn, women aren't going to be shamed into shutting up about this, and over time men are increasingly coming to agree with us, because there's no fun in watching a competition that's rigged.

I've just spent the weekend with two little people aged 6 and 3.

The level of 'debate' that Outsports/Dawn brings to that thread is pretty much the same -

Outsports: this thing we believe in, needs a conversation

Replies: 'well, we disagree, because of these reasons...'

Outsports: 'you're wrong'

Replies: 'Well, actually we disagree with you, because of these reasons...'

Outsports/Dawn Ennis : 'you're wrong..nah, nah, nah you're poopy pants and blocked'.

To be honest, the 6 year old and 3 year old had better arguments.

When did McKinnon change their name to Veronica?

Yeah, I thought "conversations" were supposed to have information in them and include more than one person's point of view. Silly me.

This one's my favourite so far:
"No. For a few decades, female sports have existed to provide opportunities for female athletes. It's time to exclude transwomen from women's sport because, and I cannot stress this enough, they're NOT FEMALE you gibbering loons."
